I Started Painting Just Five Years Ago, Here Are My Oil Paintings With The Particle Of Hope

I am a self-thought street art artist Igor Dobrowolski. I started painting just five years ago.

There are many topics that I try to move in my work, or maybe the topics move me, such as death, depression, war, problems of the poor and homeless, addiction, narcissism, lack of empathy.

I feel however that the binding agent of all these problems or stories is suffering, a particle of hope, and attempt reminder that life can be terribly cruel and thereby show that „our” problems are not great, virtually non-existent in comparison to the aforementioned tragedy. Perhaps by this appreciating your life, our time, or ordinary moments. and the emphasis on understanding and empathy. I believe that empathy is one of the most important and very underestimated features.

I do not deceive myself with the salvation of the world, but maybe my work and the work of others, not necessarily in the art world, will help to fix something.

It is very important for me to include, in all of my works the particle of hope, because I believe it’s going to be „better” even after the greatest tragedies, perhaps for life or maybe death. I do not want to be too lofty, It’s just the way I feel and I do not know how to put it into words.

My works are in collections of some most famous people and collectors like Channing Tatum, Gigi Hadid, Nicole Scherzinger, and Mohamed Hadid.
